The Naughty Dog Training, run by a trainer the site identifies as Becky, operates out of a training building at 4411 Kent Road #5 in Stow, Ohio. The business offers both group classes and one-on-one private training programs. Group classes are pitched as an affordable, fun, and effective option, while private programs suit owners who want a flexible schedule and a tailored 1:1 plan.
Experience and Focus
The site states over 20 years of experience and says they've "helped thousands of owners." Common issues mentioned include jumping, chewing, and house-training, along with getting new puppies started "right." The tone is encouraging and owner-focused, promising to guide clients every step of the way toward their goals.
Client reviews on the site reference remote/virtual work and describe the trainer as positive, detail-oriented, and genuinely caring. That positive framing aligns with a reward-based approach, though the site does not name formal certifications, so none are listed. A free Owner's Survival Guide is offered as a lead magnet. Overall this reads as an accessible, pet-owner-oriented program rather than a board-and-train or sport operation.

Becky from The Naughty Dog is an amazing trainer – for dogs and people. We got our first dog as a young puppy and were clueless as to how to train him. We had private lessons with Becky for the first month and then joined the puppy class and then took several other classes at The Naughty Dog. Becky is fun and unflappable – and she has provided invaluable training for Odie (our dog) and for us. Odie is a very happy, socialized dog (he is one year old now) and well on his way to becoming a therapy dog eventually. We love Becky! Cannot recommend The Naughty Dog enough!

We just completed Talk of the Town private training program and Trick Dog classes with Becky. Her knowledge and expertise shine through in every aspect of training and we had a phenomenal experience. Our about to be 1 year old golden retriever is really shaping up to be a great dog since Becky helped us shape her behaviors and gave us excellent outlets for her. Our dog really enjoys training and thrives when given outlets like tricks! We’ve already signed up for additional classes for our older dog and will continue to train with Becky as it has become one of Maeve’s favorite parts of the week to visit the Naughty Dog!

We love Becky! My girl is fear reactive and people selective but she warned up to Becky almost instantly and LOVES her! Becky is very warm and inviting. Never afraid to ask questions. Her training is very fair and respectful to the dogs. Would recommend her to anyone! 💕

Becky is fantastic! My dog Ollie and I have done her Manners series as well as agility classes and other fun groups. Becky is so knowledgeable and personable and truly cares about her clients. Ollie now has his Canine Good Citizenship certification and I look forward to continuing to work with him, thanks to all of the wonderful skills that Becky has taught us! I highly recommend!!

The trainer Becky at the Naughty Dog is absolutely amazing. She not only knows how to train dogs but is able to teach her clients in clear understandable language how to use her techniques. She is very personable and really supportive offering help wherever you encounter problems along with encouragement which helps you follow through. I went from thinking I would have to re home my dog to having the dog I thought I was getting. He now has made such great strides in his behavior that both he and I smile all the time. I can’t recommend Becky and the Naughty Dog more highly 😊🐾 .
